Chapter 553 With All My Power
Standing on the other side of the door, Gary hadn"t pushed it open immediately. He had been running around the casino for a while, searching for the leader of the Scatterbugs. However, during his search, he had only found insignificant people. Staff managers in charge of the casino had attempted to stop him, but the Werewolf had dealt with them quickly, to the point that it had barely slowed him of.
All of this, though, had made him aware that the absence of the higher-ups wasn"t a coincidence. Then, when he found the elaborate door, he had heard the breaths of many people inside.
"I can smell him, and I can sense him as well. There"s another Werewolf on the other side." Gary thought. "The person who did that to Kai, who placed him up like that on the show for everyone to see. Slough, the town was meant to be a safe place for us Howlers, but while I was away, this d.a.m.ned Werewolf came in and did that. To a member of the Howlers, to a member of my Pack!"
With the anger and rage building inside him, and the image of Kai in his head, Gary pushed the door open. There was no helping it, he had to face whoever was on the other side.
With the doors opened it was just as Gary had expected, there were five men on either side of the room, all in fancy suits, all looking down on him. All of them were male, and their ages ranged wildly, but what stood out the most was the fact that none of them had weapons.
Then again, it wasn"t too surprising, because every single one of them was an Altered. They were confident in their skills, and in the fact that their own body was far deadlier than any weapon.
"Will you look at this?!" Slith spoke with a large smile on his face, his hands out on his desk, displaying the large rings that were covering his fingers. "A member of that d.a.m.ned Howler gang has come all the way here, and what the h.e.l.l is with that d.a.m.ned wolf mask?!"
At the other end of the room, were the two people that Gary had come here to see. From his clothes, his presence Gary understood that the one sitting had to be the leader of the Scatterbugs, and then there was the one next to him, Midwak, the one whose scent he had picked up from the ouside.
[A new Quest has been received]
[Against all odds, you have entered the Scatterbugs base]
[An enemy that never thought of you as one is now forced into a tough situation.]
[Quest: Defeat the Scatterbugs gang]
[Condition: the Scatterbugs gang will be considered defeated when all 11 Altered surrender or have been defeated]
The Quest that popped up just reminded Gary about how hard this task would be, and confirmed the worst case scenario. Fighting against one Werewolf was already suicidal enough, but now he would have to face nearly a dozen Altered on top of that… This situation was nothing like the time he had barged into Olivia"s office.
"Why is it 11? What about the one who is responsible for it all?" Gary wondered as his gaze stayed on Midwak.
However, his system wasn"t down with the messages just yet as it had an additional quest that had appeared./
[A new Quest has been received]
[You are in the presence of an Omega Werewolf.]
[The Omega outranks you.]
[Should you lose a fight against him, the fate of you and your Pack will be in his Pack]
"Hang on, other Werewolves also have ranks? I thought that was something exclusive to me and my Pack due to the System… I"m at the Bishop Grade, so that means, he has to be at least a Rook. No wonder he ended up beating Kai… No, now"s not the time to think about that stuff. I knew that guy was strong all along, and yet I"ve come here to take revenge anyway. He might be a natural Werewolf, but I bet I"m still stronger due to the System!"

"With everything I have, I need to beat everyone in this room, including him." Gary thought.
"You are certainly skilled to have got this far. You know, that mask reminds me a lot of Midwak." Slith continued monologuing. "It was the same for him, he had one day come barging into this room, but look at him now. Now he is by my side as one of my strongest allies, which is why I"m willing to make you the same offer.
"Join us. You and the rest of the Howlers can join us. Submit, and the fighting will stop here and now. There will be no bad blood between us, and we can share the riches that we earn together. I think this isn"t a bad deal, right?"
Gary was a bit surprised hearing that Midwak had also tried to attack the place, yet even more so to learn that he ended up failing. A bout of hesitation was starting to creep in, because in the end he wanted to keep everyone safe. Part of him knew that it was too early for him and the others to take on the Scatterbugs. They were still young, and they could always take their revenge after growing stronger in the future…
"No… think about it, like Kai said all these people are the same. Who"s to say he keeps his words? Even if I work with him, he might change his mind at any moment. I"ve heard what he did to Numba"s family just because they refused. I can"t, I can"t join someone like that. I didn"t break free from the Underdogs to go ahead and join a gang like this." Gary shook his head.
"So… what will it be? If you refuse, you will never be able to reach me." Slith stated.
MIdwak by his side walked forward until the two of them were side by side. "There"s no need for him to reach you. He"s here for me. This whole thing has always been something between the two of us."
The next moment, the man*s entire hand transformed into that of a Werewolf and with a single wipe, his thick and long claws had slashed Slith"s throat and blood started to quickly spill as the gang leader was bleeding out on top of his deck, a look of confusion ingrained in his eyes.
[1/11 Altered have been defeated]
